I thought you were saying something along those lines and Ithought it was pretty funny...lol.
Secondarily, maybe you should try one of these new headsets (with the technological advances) and maybe you will be "beaucoup" thrilled with the differences and will be willing to invest in one of them. ...or maybe not. Perhaps you experience with the Sigtronics is part of you comfort in the cockpit and we would not want to deviatefrom that.
I'm indeed in this flying business for the long run (GOD willing) and the feedback on the Zulu sounds quite appealing. Light, ANR, confortable, etc, plus others already have it and they love it. I'm about 79% decided upon the zulu.......lol. Thank you all for all of your inputs(Pearl, Toga). Please feel free to add anything if the urge compels you too. Thank you twice.
No problem. I've tried all the fancy headsets. My father has Bose installed in his Mooney. I still would never buy a headset that costs over $200 new. They are not that important. You don't even need them to fly a plane. Sure, hearing loss is an issue over time, but cheap headsets and/or earplugs are just as good. As a flight instructor, I see too many people purchase crap they don't need. Who needs a $150 Sporty's flight bag, when Walmart sells the same thing for less than $10? No one needs ANR. It's a luxury. I don't even like ANR. I want to hear the plane and engine talk to me.
